13 Straight Vane Rod Guide Recommended for low corrosion environments in wells having one pull or less per year from wear-associated problems, the straight vane design is an effective, low-cost solution to problems. It has more erodible wear volume, less drag and a greater bearing surface than the slant blade design and is available in a variety of materials. Used in conjunction with a Hercules rod rotator, this design provides exceptional scraping action, as well as centralization. Straight Vane Rod Guide Available on fiberglass rods please contact your local Tuboscope representative Turbulence Breaker & Smooth Flow Rod Guide Fluid turbulence, usually above and sometimes below rod guides, can wash away corrosion inhibitors. When inspection shows evidence of rod pitting, the washing action of turbulent flow is usually the problem. The Turbulence Breaker & Smooth Flow guides are designed to minimize these corrosion problems. Straight vanes, working in tandem with extended tapered guide ends, improve the flow of fluids around the guide. Turbulence Breaker & Smooth Flow Rod Guide Positive Action Slant Vane Rod Guide The angle of the slanted vane provides broad cutting action and when coupled with increased turbulence, paraffin build-up is reduced dramatically. In wells where drag, high side loads and corrosion are not factors, the slant vane design is the choice for paraffin control, but it still must be used with a rod rotator to be most effective. Positive Action Slant Vane Rod Guide Slant Vane XL Rod Guide Slant Vane XL Rod Guide This design provides effective protection against both paraffin accumulation and tubing wear. The sucker rod guide combines both the characteristics of concaved and slanted vanes in order to maximize erodible wear volume and bearing surface. Tubing Cross-Section Paraffin Slanted vane guides (left) remove paraffin from a broader area than straight vane guides (right) Mort Rod Guide This design is effective protection against paraffin accumulation on the interior walls of tubing, while also reducing downhole rod and tubing wear. The Mort design features slanted vanes to provide a broad cutting action to reduce paraffin buildup. Although the slanted vane scrapes almost the full circumference of the tubing with each pumping stroke, it still must be used with a rotator. Mort Rod Guides Available for steel or fiberglass sucker rods Ability to mold onto fiberglass rods 13 tuboscopesales@nov.com nov.com/tuboscope
